An article written by our guest author Selina Reusser

Why wait for the tea to steep if you can also just eat it?

First you boil the water, then you add the tea leaves, and then you let it steep – everyone can make tea, but did you know that you can also make an aromatic vinaigrette from your Conflictfood Black Tea ‘Silver Shan’? The easy and quick preparation of the vinaigrette gives your salads a fruity-spicy taste experience and shows you how diverse the use of tea can be!

Of course, we have already tried out the vinaigrette for you and wish you a lot of fun preparing it!

You can also prepare your tea one day earlier so that it can cool overnight.Meanwhile, squeeze the orange and lemon and put the juice aside. Then you cut the shallots into very fine cubes and put them aside as well.
